Some of the lines are related to Vi. For example "Jinx? Stands for Jinx" is a play on some of Vi's lines for example "Vi? Stands for Violence." Her little song "Such a loser, always ready to cry" is a parody of the Vi theme song.
Ohhhhh now that makes sense!!! I still need to deep dive into other Arcane characters. Jinx has been the first of many so I bet I will understand all those references afterwards. Thank you for watching and clarifying 😊
Yeah also back then there was not much champs and if they interacted they got like one or two lines. But Jinx and Vi had a lot of interactions and references so the theory was growing into conspiracy. And we all Knew but there was no proof until the show
It was implied in heavily with interactions between them or that they came out really close to each other. Vi and Jinx also share the same Background. Jinx has the City destroyed behind her while in Vi's Background the city isn't destroyed. Those facts together with the voiceline was what implied for many players that those two are sisters and Arcane just confirmed it
Uh, not really. Literally the ONLY thing that EVER hinted at anything was Jinx's voiceline "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister." which still never really made sense because, Vi is not even remotely as crazy as Jinx is. So it never actually hinted that Vi was the sister, just that Jinx had, somewhere, a crazy sister. And something like how Jinx's background is just a destroyed version of Vi's, has literally NOTHING to do with being sisters, and did not as you say 'imply' that to players. Jinx and Vi were always heavily involved with each other. Vi is the cop, Jinx is the criminal, they are directly related in that Vi is the one always trying to catch Jinx. That's why they had shared backgrounds. A dev also once said that they were in fact, not sisters. But Riot retcons things like, weekly. So yeah... there were never any hints that they were sisters. Just because two characters share a story doesn't mean 'SISTERS, THEY MUST BE SISTERS'.
@@bellidrael7457 Wait, it was something supposed to be a mystery who Jinx sister was? I remember that when she came out like everybody knew Vi was her sister, never seen anyone question that or telling it was not true, and even in 2017 Greg Street Lead Game designer at that time at Riot Games literally said on an interview "Her sister is in the game, she is another champion, her name is Vi" when he was asked about Jinx phrase talking about her sister, i was not even surprised when Arcane "Revealed" that they were sisters xd
In regard to the skin-specific voicelines, if you didn't know, a lot of the alternate universes have their own entirely separate stories and lore, with some champions having stories in those universes that are longer than their Runeterra lore. Some of the skin-universes have a lot more lore than others and even have their own game modes that Riot makes to promote the skin line. Of these more popular universes, Jinx appears in four of them (Star Guardians, Odyssey, Project, and AnimaTech), which I believe is more than any other champion. The champions have similar, but completely separate, characters and personalities in these universes, and Jinx plays one of the main characters in the Star Guardians story (which is basically Sailor Moon using League characters) and Odyssey (heavily inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy), both of which have their own cinematics that feature her. I'd highly recommend checking out the Odyssey cinematic as you can follow along with what is happening without knowing about the lore.
I had no idea about alternate universes. I was wondering about that voice line with Caitlin's skin. I am definitely checking out those trailers soon! The amount of lore that they got is absolutely mindblowing 🤯Thank you so much for sharing the info and for watching! 😊
3:46 All the LOL players have the theorie before Arcante that Vi and Jinx are sisters. The serie only confirms that and the fact that Ekko has a crush for Powder when kids.
No, not 'All the LoL players' had that theory. In fact a Riot dev actually at one point confirmed they were NOT sisters. But Riot retcons things weekly so yeah.
No, they are not the equivalent of the monkeys. In Arcane she does use one of the "chomper" grenades, but it was just a fake to scare a dude (paint grenade, she "sticks" it to his back)
I recommend you check out the Jinx and Ziggs comic (and you have Heimerdinger there a little too). It's pretty short and it shows what Jinx pre-Arcane was like in a more visual manner. It's not canon anymore but it is very fun. It's on the Universe website.
about swain and many others. Yes, league's lore is deep and the important plot points are fairly settled, Riot has a "lore bible" that isn't public, mostly to allow changes if needed, but also, to let people speculate, and because they didn't have a proper way to show all the stories (league's gameplay doesn't allow for deep narrative, but the characters and world are well thought out), unlike now, that they will be making tv shows.
So the thing with fiddlesticks is that he's the primordial demon of fear and he doesn't understand the reality surrounding him so he tries to imitate the voices of his surroundings to lure victims , giving how he's literally fear , he basically uses everyone's deepest traumas and fears against them , this his why he was screaming "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" imitating Vi's line ( it's gets even worse when he taunts Nunu and Annie 💀)
@@MrGuybrush Oh definitely! He's probably the creepiest character in LoL, and since he screams other people's fears at them, it also gives you a pretty good insight into other champions.
@@MrGuybrush yeah the guy's as old as existence itself being birthed from the first scream of creation , the first and strongest demon of all , he feeds on fear and is instinctively feared by every creature , his body is a bunch of scraps and farming tools he gathered to try imitating a scarecrow cuz he's so strong he needs to project himself via corporeal things to run around runeterra , he should definitely be a raid boss in the MMO
Jinx and Vi weren't originally sisters. They, along with echo, were a part of a zaun street gang. Vi eventually left the gang after being arrested and then given the opportunity to keep doing what she loved (beating people up) but for the law, hence why all of Vi's moves and voice lines are references to that. When Vi left, Jinx because a little crazier, but was not heartbroken over it. When she started talking to her guns, that's when Ekko left, leaving Jinx by herself. She did the pranks for attention, and doesn't actively hate Vi or Caitlyn, instead seeing it as a game of tag, even has a side quest in game if she's on the opposite team of either of them, her buff called "catch me if you can." She loves funs and explosives, why she's normally seen being happy, unlike arcane's dour version. You can see it in Riots promo for wild rift where she gets the group together to fight, starting with Lux. LoL Jinx is my favorite character, has been since she came out, but she is not powder. I like Powder from Arcane, but there is no realistic way for her to become the Jinx in game that was created. Oh, also, Ziggs is desthly afraid of her.
Heimerdinger, Ziggs, Jayce, Viktor, and even Vi don't have any interaction with Jinx in the game because they are older than her. All the voice lines of other champions of other universes are because their skin is legendary tier (they add new VO that suits the theme). So, they need to make a VO rework to give to the older champions interactions... Btw, they announced that a champion related to Arcane (maybe one of those who I mentioned) will have a full visual rework that includes new voice lines. Imo will be Singed
5:55 yea she is a bit crazier in game, given it is later than the show so she has plenty of room to go down the crazy path. Fishbones is the rocket launcher at the end btw if you were not aware. So just a few of these you stopped on, or that are particularly of interest: 8:21 Fiddlesitcks is a demon, the demon of fear to be exact, true demons in League are huge btw. He prays on fears, thus the weird quotes in particular for Jinx, "you're fault" referencing Arcane and all the people she might fear was her fault. The creepy voice (the VA does this naturally btw, big props there) is due to him not really having a voice, he just imitates things he hears. They did a wonderful job of making him creepy though, he used to not be so creepy, but that rework, he is a terror. 8:33 Jhin is our resident serial killer. He kills people and makes "art" from the body, he also has a fixation with the number 4. You could find him classy when he is composed, every now and then though youll get that unhinged bit shine through. He was pretty big in one of the worlds cinematics where is is absolutely tearing up some of piltover's finest. We could very well see him in season 2 honestly, I dunno though, there is a lot they can cover and he would probably be a side story in Arcane. 9:00 Kayne has a sort of symbiotic relationship with Rhaast, who is a Darkin sort of like a lesser corrupted demon thing sealed in weapons, to not go too deep into their lore, Darkin's typically will take over their unlucky host, but Kayne's thing is the way you play him depends on which personality and style becomes the dominant one, silencing the other and changing the way your skills work. This is a skinline though, one they made a big PvE event based on, skinlines like this one have alternate realities/universes and don't necessarily have the same backstories. There is an Odyssey trailer that would give a little info on that one, but basically in this one Kain is the big bad that the Guardians of the Galaxy style group is fighting, Jinx has a crush on him. This alternate universe is one of the more sane Jinxes, she is happy and has friends. Still a bit crazy though. Check out that vid sometime, its a fun watch: th-cam.com/video/uaDQB8lOlTk/w-d-xo.html 9:44 the project skinline is all like techno robotic/cyborg stuff, think a terminator kind of world. I think Pyke was scrapped as an early test in this lore, then rebuilt with fragments and has their voices calling out for revenge in his head or something like that. Jinx in that line had her memory core scrambled by a power outage and that is why she is nuts in that one. 10:13 star guardian, another HUGE skinline, very popular. This is the magical girl style world, these two are corrupted star guardians. 14:16 so Ekko had a crush on Powder and tried to save her from Silco for years, despite her not wanting to be saved. Thus the nickname "boy savior" and his voiceline in game. That is pretty much the whole thing with them. A lot of the lore with these characters was changed just before Arcane was released, curious enough one of them was Warrick's line with Jinx and he has one with Vi too, "Who taught you to punch?" lends a bit to the theory of him being Vander, but I still wouldn't call it 100% confirmed until it happens honestly.
They kinna hint that they are sister in the begining with some voice line and the art too. If u look at the background Jinx have the same background as Vi, but Jinx's background is a destroyed city
Before the Arcane, it was never clear to everyone that Vi and Jinx are actually sisters, people just think of it as a Theory, but it end up true. Some interactions are from other skinlines, but it doesn't mean that it was an actual connection to the Cannon Lore of Runeterra, Odyssey Jinx, Star Guardian Jinx and other skinline have their Story, but it was never connected to the main Cannon Lore
8:13 Fiddlesticks is the Demon of Fear, he doesn't have a Human body, that's why it sounds so wired, also he remembers the last thing the victim said before being killed by him or something that would make his victim feel Fear, Demons feast on the emotion they are the Demon of. This is why he has this quote against Jinx: "... All your fault ...". If I remember correctly Ekko, being the most "recent" one of the Arcane characters (except for the Cait ASU) is the one that has the most interactions with the rest of the characters from Arcane, you can watch it from Skin Spotlights, they have Special Interactions for most of the characters in the game. Also his cinematic is FIRE and I mean F.I.R.E. ... and a little sad if you've reed his web comic first, when at the begining of the cinematic Ekko says: "More Years on their Lives" and the Voice actor delivery, Dude it hits me on the feels every time.
You could also add the Trivia and Relations sections of the wiki page for the next champions, they have info that sometimes only appear in other champions stories.
In regards to your comment about a lot of people not expecting Vi to become an enforcer it does feel weird but in the context of arcane it makes sense. The undercity she left when she was arrested in ep 3 is not the same one she came back to in ep 5. Under Vander, the Undercity, while still impoverished and downtrodden, was a lot better socially speaking. Vander and everyone looked out for each other, they were like family. But once Silco took over he introduced Shimmer, he didnt look out for anyone but Jinx and his most loyal followers. He brutalized anyone who dared defy him, something Vander never did. So what she sees when she finally goes back is not the home she remembers but instead this grotesque and monstrous city that ruins the lives of the people who are already struggling. Its why she knew she had to take out Silco and remove this poison from the Undercity in the hopes that the city can be heal and be as good as what she remembered. Even though she wants the Undercity to be independent, she wasnt willing to trade one set of bad leaders for another. So, despite the fact that she isnt thrilled about it (and we can see that in the trailer) she joins the enforcers as that ensures shes in a position to be able to do something about it. The advantage here is that by joining the enforcers shes no longer a single vigilante but instead has help via other enforcers who can assist her in realizing her dream of a better Undercity
Jinx is really fun to play and she gets really strong in fights once her passive activates (it can stack) and you can just run and gun everyone down :D
Oh wow, I might need to check that out in the game, it does sound awesome. I used to play Heroes of the Storm but never tried League. Jinx definitely sounds fun.
@@MrGuybrush LoL is way more hardcore than Hots, and jinx belong to one of the hardest class in the game. So you better prepared yourself if you want to play her
@@bellidrael7457 it's about positioning. You need to constantly apply dps while finding the right position. Not as easy as a tank who would just run straight at your face and press all the button he had. You clearly never play a markman to have such idea
next time you do one of these videos, look at the skins on the league wiki/fandom page as well! when you hover the images it has a short description of each skin in that universe
As a former Jinx main, she is very fun and I kid you not, she can carry the whole 5-man team with the right support and protecting. Her weakness? she has is not a tank so she is squishy af,
as a league player I would say Jinx is a very solid champion in game, shes not hard to learn and easy for new players (she was my main back in 2015), yet she remains useful for skilled players too even being picked in pro play! Her passive is insanely broken, she also has CC and slows and if you have good aim, Jinx could definitely be your ticket to victory!
jinx is fun to play! whether she is good always heavily depends on the current meta (the game changes things up several times a year, items or other game features are added, removed or changed, new champions are added and so the champions are nerfed or buffed depending on all those elements and different aspects of champions make them stronger or weaker depending on the overall game trend), but she has been played a lot in pro-play in recent year since her passiv is really strong and after one takedown she has the ability to just maw over the enemies and get anothee takedown, which reactivates her passive again. her problems on the other hand are that she is not really as mobile as other champions (which can be circumvented by certain support champions who help her in this regard) and ones she falls behind it is harder for her to catch up again. sorry for all the game talk, hope this answers the question xD
StarGuardian Jynx is A legendary skin and for it has different interactions that could be funny to react and in the case of Gameplay Jynx is a Mid Game carry.that could be problematic if Scales enought in Game, she is on the bot Lane and one of her worst matchup is against Caitlyn (Caitlyn is the most ranged Shooter in the game)
23:00 wanna see something cooler? Go to episode 9 to the finale, you'll see the same face on the explosion, when arcane released the face in the game was changed to match with arcane's one
Arcane Jinx was definitely a reimagining of the character where they leaned hard into the mentally tormented kind of crazy. Original LoL Jinx was more of a loose cannon mixture of the Joker and Harley Quinn who's more focused on blowing shit up to piss off Vi and fend off boredom.
im an adc/marksman main and jinx is pretty fun! she is a strong character, relatively easy to play but has a high skill ceiling. if you like playing ranged dps then i'd recommend trying her out, i will also say that warwick is a pretty common starter character for league newbies if you want to play an arcane character lol
I might check it out. I installed it to check out the skills but seeing that I needed to go through a tutorial discouraged me a bit 😅 Everyone keeps saying that I shouldn't play, but that only makes me more curious haha
@@MrGuybrush give it a try if you're curious! league is very information heavy at the start but can be really fun if that kind of nerdiness in a game is appealing to you hahahah
2:39 keep in mind that, despite the fact that Riot a while back decided Arcane was canon... Arcane Jinx and League of Legends Jinx are two COMPLETELY different characters. Jinx in Arcane is a traumatized genius inventor. Jinx in League of Legends is Harley Quinn and comedic relief. The character of Jinx was effectively hijacked, turned into a trauma baby, and now old Jinx is dead because the new trauma Jinx is canon. Also what... what does her E, the flame chompers, have to do with monkeys lol.
I hear you recently downloaded the game, I've been playing the game for almost 8 years. If you want any pointers or be taught the game, I'd be happy to help
Definitely! I've been on a short vacation and these days I will be uploading more often about the MMO and other stuff. I've been trying to learn a bit more about the lore in general before diving into specifics. Slowly but surely haha Thank you for watching!
they build her different in arcane , the voice line not so canon with the show, if u notice she very happy also u don't recognize her trauma from the game or from the old clip "get jinx"
Please don't install league :D it's better for your mental health not to! In my opinion, Jinx is a fun character to play, she is a hypercarry (someone that, if getting a lot of gold/kills early can easily run down the enemy team) and her passive stacks so you can RATATATA everyone down until it runs out or you get jumped by an assassin :D. In ye olde days League didn't really have lore and a lot of characters were based on MMO archetypes (E.G. Nasus who's based on Anubis, Singed was a Mad scientist, Ashe is based on a Drow archer, but frosty , Annie is based on those creepy kids in horror movies with special powers, Shaco is a murder clown, Etc etc). Then Riot decided to have a lore universe, and they kinda had to try and fit all these champs into the lore (Twice even i think, i only really started to play in 2021) like Fiddlesticks, who was based on a posessed scarecrow archetype, became the primal demon of fear. Riot fit the majority of the characters into the lore (except for a few, looking at you, shaco and cho) but it's been a while since jinx (and also vi) have been added so that's why jinx ingame still sounds deranged AF and VI still has lines like "Punch first, ask questions while punchin'..." since they really haven't been updated. 9:07 Kayn is actually partially posessed by his weapon, and that's why he has like "Rhaast" and "darkin form" in his lines. TLDR his weapon is sentient and trying to take over his body while he's fighting to have control over it, you can choose ingame if he gets posessed and transforms (then he's more of a bruiser type) or stays like himself (then he plays more like an assassin type), the picture where u see him on screen is a skin, and his base skin looks like an even edgier sasuke uchiha in my opinion. 23:35 as someone else here stated in the comments, usually you recognise the character by their silhouette, their weapons and theway they carry themselves. Jinx always has her minigun and her rocket launcher on her and actually is the only one to have one like that even tho there are more people with guns (Caitlyn with her scoped sniper, Jhin has a pistol etc etc) she also always has her pigtails even though they might not look like those (E.G. one of her pigtails in her cristmas skin is actually just a really long christmas hat). Vi for example will always have her big gauntlets and usually carries her hands like she's about to go in the boxing ring. The skins will always be made to fit the character's animations (unless it's one of the expensive skins that get their own animation). so even if you do'nt recognise the skin you will always know which champion it is in match cause of the animation
She goes "Jinx stands for jinx duh" because Vi (that noone knew has her sister before, just speculated) has the quote "Vi stands for Violence", or Vicious etc, that's her giving a hint of their relation
Some of the lines are related to Vi. For example "Jinx? Stands for Jinx" is a play on some of Vi's lines for example "Vi? Stands for Violence." Her little song "Such a loser, always ready to cry" is a parody of the Vi theme song.
Ohhhhh now that makes sense!!! I still need to deep dive into other Arcane characters. Jinx has been the first of many so I bet I will understand all those references afterwards. Thank you for watching and clarifying 😊
@@MrGuybrush Vi's theme song is awesome.

Some interactions are from other skinlines, but it doesn't mean that it was an actual connection to the Cannon Lore of Runeterra, Odyssey Jinx, Star Guardian Jinx and other skinline have their Story, but it was never connected to the main Cannon Lore
8:13 Fiddlesticks is the Demon of Fear, he doesn't have a Human body, that's why it sounds so wired, also he remembers the last thing the victim said before being killed by him or something that would make his victim feel Fear, Demons feast on the emotion they are the Demon of. This is why he has this quote against Jinx: "... All your fault ...".
If I remember correctly Ekko, being the most "recent" one of the Arcane characters (except for the Cait ASU) is the one that has the most interactions with the rest of the characters from Arcane, you can watch it from Skin Spotlights, they have Special Interactions for most of the characters in the game. Also his cinematic is FIRE and I mean F.I.R.E. ... and a little sad if you've reed his web comic first, when at the begining of the cinematic Ekko says: "More Years on their Lives" and the Voice actor delivery, Dude it hits me on the feels every time.
so many interesting references - but i also did not expect a reference to Pink Floyd there. "Shine on you crazy diamond" 11:43
You could also add the Trivia and Relations sections of the wiki page for the next champions, they have info that sometimes only appear in other champions stories.
In regards to your comment about a lot of people not expecting Vi to become an enforcer it does feel weird but in the context of arcane it makes sense. The undercity she left when she was arrested in ep 3 is not the same one she came back to in ep 5.
Under Vander, the Undercity, while still impoverished and downtrodden, was a lot better socially speaking. Vander and everyone looked out for each other, they were like family. But once Silco took over he introduced Shimmer, he didnt look out for anyone but Jinx and his most loyal followers. He brutalized anyone who dared defy him, something Vander never did.
So what she sees when she finally goes back is not the home she remembers but instead this grotesque and monstrous city that ruins the lives of the people who are already struggling.
Its why she knew she had to take out Silco and remove this poison from the Undercity in the hopes that the city can be heal and be as good as what she remembered. Even though she wants the Undercity to be independent, she wasnt willing to trade one set of bad leaders for another. So, despite the fact that she isnt thrilled about it (and we can see that in the trailer) she joins the enforcers as that ensures shes in a position to be able to do something about it. The advantage here is that by joining the enforcers shes no longer a single vigilante but instead has help via other enforcers who can assist her in realizing her dream of a better Undercity
Jinx is really fun to play and she gets really strong in fights once her passive activates (it can stack) and you can just run and gun everyone down :D
Oh wow, I might need to check that out in the game, it does sound awesome. I used to play Heroes of the Storm but never tried League. Jinx definitely sounds fun.
@@MrGuybrush LoL is way more hardcore than Hots, and jinx belong to one of the hardest class in the game. So you better prepared yourself if you want to play her
@@dieptrieu6564 'one of the hardest class in the game'
Yeah. Right click things is super, super hard.
@@bellidrael7457 it's about positioning. You need to constantly apply dps while finding the right position. Not as easy as a tank who would just run straight at your face and press all the button he had. You clearly never play a markman to have such idea
So I guess maybe we will get the reaction for star guardians and odyssey ?🤩
Oh wow I just checked in the Wiki and it does seem interesting 👀 I had no idea there were alternate realities in the lore.
you should see: welcome aboard
next time you do one of these videos, look at the skins on the league wiki/fandom page as well! when you hover the images it has a short description of each skin in that universe
Oohhh that would be helpful! Thanks for the tip and for watching!!
As a former Jinx main, she is very fun and I kid you not, she can carry the whole 5-man team with the right support and protecting. Her weakness? she has is not a tank so she is squishy af,
as a league player I would say Jinx is a very solid champion in game, shes not hard to learn and easy for new players (she was my main back in 2015), yet she remains useful for skilled players too even being picked in pro play! Her passive is insanely broken, she also has CC and slows and if you have good aim, Jinx could definitely be your ticket to victory!
Fiddlestick is a demon, he doesn't have voices, all he doing is mimic other people's voices, those line is coming from the darkest memories of jinx
jinx is fun to play! whether she is good always heavily depends on the current meta (the game changes things up several times a year, items or other game features are added, removed or changed, new champions are added and so the champions are nerfed or buffed depending on all those elements and different aspects of champions make them stronger or weaker depending on the overall game trend), but she has been played a lot in pro-play in recent year since her passiv is really strong and after one takedown she has the ability to just maw over the enemies and get anothee takedown, which reactivates her passive again. her problems on the other hand are that she is not really as mobile as other champions (which can be circumvented by certain support champions who help her in this regard) and ones she falls behind it is harder for her to catch up again. sorry for all the game talk, hope this answers the question xD
Generally you recognise a champion based on their weapons. In Jinx's case she also has pigtails in all her skins
StarGuardian Jynx is A legendary skin and for it has different interactions that could be funny to react and in the case of Gameplay Jynx is a Mid Game carry.that could be problematic if Scales enought in Game, she is on the bot Lane and one of her worst matchup is against Caitlyn (Caitlyn is the most ranged Shooter in the game)
23:00 wanna see something cooler? Go to episode 9 to the finale, you'll see the same face on the explosion, when arcane released the face in the game was changed to match with arcane's one
Arcane Jinx was definitely a reimagining of the character where they leaned hard into the mentally tormented kind of crazy. Original LoL Jinx was more of a loose cannon mixture of the Joker and Harley Quinn who's more focused on blowing shit up to piss off Vi and fend off boredom.
20:34 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Someone save this man
You could have also react to her Legends of runeterra voicelines
im an adc/marksman main and jinx is pretty fun! she is a strong character, relatively easy to play but has a high skill ceiling. if you like playing ranged dps then i'd recommend trying her out, i will also say that warwick is a pretty common starter character for league newbies if you want to play an arcane character lol
I might check it out. I installed it to check out the skills but seeing that I needed to go through a tutorial discouraged me a bit 😅 Everyone keeps saying that I shouldn't play, but that only makes me more curious haha
@@MrGuybrush give it a try if you're curious! league is very information heavy at the start but can be really fun if that kind of nerdiness in a game is appealing to you hahahah
@@MrGuybrush the community in game however.. can be interesting. dont say we didnt warn you🤣
Jinx main, she is awesome and fun to play. But very much a glass cannon. Heavy late game snowballing.
2:39 keep in mind that, despite the fact that Riot a while back decided Arcane was canon... Arcane Jinx and League of Legends Jinx are two COMPLETELY different characters. Jinx in Arcane is a traumatized genius inventor. Jinx in League of Legends is Harley Quinn and comedic relief. The character of Jinx was effectively hijacked, turned into a trauma baby, and now old Jinx is dead because the new trauma Jinx is canon.
Also what... what does her E, the flame chompers, have to do with monkeys lol.
Bridging the rift part 2?
Yes! I'm recording it today and should be up tomorrow!
I hear you recently downloaded the game, I've been playing the game for almost 8 years. If you want any pointers or be taught the game, I'd be happy to help
Check this video -> Welcome Aboard | Odyssey Animated Trailer - League of Legends
I mained her in 2013
22:10 its her pistol
I think you should have watched all the cinematics first. And then exploring deeper in certain characters. You got some spoilers.
any plans on watching more necrit content about the mmo?
Definitely! I've been on a short vacation and these days I will be uploading more often about the MMO and other stuff. I've been trying to learn a bit more about the lore in general before diving into specifics. Slowly but surely haha Thank you for watching!
@@MrGuybrush take your time my man
they build her different in arcane , the voice line not so canon with the show, if u notice she very happy also u don't recognize her trauma from the game or from the old clip "get jinx"
You said English isn’t your first language,so did I.
(Just realized that I even didn’t try to understand what Ai said 😂 it’s so many English
There is a theory that Vander is Warwick
Yeah I did check him out on this other video: th-cam.com/video/haehLN_ggB4/w-d-xo.html definitely interesting stuff for season 2 of Arcane 👀
Please don't install league :D it's better for your mental health not to! In my opinion, Jinx is a fun character to play, she is a hypercarry (someone that, if getting a lot of gold/kills early can easily run down the enemy team) and her passive stacks so you can RATATATA everyone down until it runs out or you get jumped by an assassin :D.
In ye olde days League didn't really have lore and a lot of characters were based on MMO archetypes (E.G. Nasus who's based on Anubis, Singed was a Mad scientist, Ashe is based on a Drow archer, but frosty , Annie is based on those creepy kids in horror movies with special powers, Shaco is a murder clown, Etc etc).
Then Riot decided to have a lore universe, and they kinda had to try and fit all these champs into the lore (Twice even i think, i only really started to play in 2021) like Fiddlesticks, who was based on a posessed scarecrow archetype, became the primal demon of fear. Riot fit the majority of the characters into the lore (except for a few, looking at you, shaco and cho) but it's been a while since jinx (and also vi) have been added so that's why jinx ingame still sounds deranged AF and VI still has lines like "Punch first, ask questions while punchin'..." since they really haven't been updated.
9:07 Kayn is actually partially posessed by his weapon, and that's why he has like "Rhaast" and "darkin form" in his lines. TLDR his weapon is sentient and trying to take over his body while he's fighting to have control over it, you can choose ingame if he gets posessed and transforms (then he's more of a bruiser type) or stays like himself (then he plays more like an assassin type), the picture where u see him on screen is a skin, and his base skin looks like an even edgier sasuke uchiha in my opinion.
23:35 as someone else here stated in the comments, usually you recognise the character by their silhouette, their weapons and theway they carry themselves. Jinx always has her minigun and her rocket launcher on her and actually is the only one to have one like that even tho there are more people with guns (Caitlyn with her scoped sniper, Jhin has a pistol etc etc) she also always has her pigtails even though they might not look like those (E.G. one of her pigtails in her cristmas skin is actually just a really long christmas hat). Vi for example will always have her big gauntlets and usually carries her hands like she's about to go in the boxing ring. The skins will always be made to fit the character's animations (unless it's one of the expensive skins that get their own animation). so even if you do'nt recognise the skin you will always know which champion it is in match cause of the animation
🎉🎉🎉 now u downloaded the game, time to try 😊
or play the mobile version just for fun
Alot of these were alternate timeline/Old Lore stuff, its not really possible to rely on alot of this stuff :/
Stop it MrGuybrush you can't fix her... xD
Vander 😭
Never forget our Vander 😢😢😢
She goes "Jinx stands for jinx duh" because Vi (that noone knew has her sister before, just speculated) has the quote "Vi stands for Violence", or Vicious etc, that's her giving a hint of their relation
